Without a wedding" Garment.

Judge Newman, of the United States
Court, isn't Stickler for etiquette, but he
draws the line on witnesses in shirt sleeves.
Henry Harris, Of the Collectors office,
was a witness in court at Atlanta Friday,
but he had to make two attempts before be
got in his testimony.
When his name was called he was hard at
work in his Office. Hurrying to the court
room, he sailed by the bailiff, who stood at
the door, and was soon on the witness stand,
within few feet Of the court. Henry's
linen was spotleSs, and, with his beautiful
curly locks, he had a sort of Jim O'Neill
world-is-mlnen look, which captivated
the spectators. But Judge Newman's taste
for the beautiful lacks cultivation, and,
wheeling toward the witness, he said in his
severest tone:
Witnesses in this court are expected to
conform to the rules of etiquette and TO be
clothed in proper habiliments. No man has
q right TO bare arms in the presence of this
tribunal. Retire, Mr.. Witness, and prop
erly adjust your clothing so that your testi-
mony can be taken. Retire, sir"
There are times when second invitations
are unnecessary. Capt. Harris retired.
In few minutes he returned, this time
arrayed in purple and fine linen sufficient to
satisfy the tastes of the court, and his testi-
mony was admitted.

the Representative in Congress.
From the Louisville Cottrter.JournnL
The personnel of the Fiftieth Congress
does not compare with former Congresses.
The new members of which there are 1919
who were not in the last Congress, but
twelve Of which have served in previous
Congresses, are men who have had very lit
tie experience in public life. There are al
ready few of the new members, who at
this early date of the session, have taken a
somewhat prominent position, so far as pub
lie men can become prominent without hav-
ing done anything in n legislative body
They are prominent now, because it is be-
lieved they will become SO before the end of
the session Gen. Spinola, of New York,
is one of the characters of the House
Almost every person who knows anything
OF public men, when they come into the
galleries, first ask to have Spinola pointed
ont to them. His name is Francis B.
Spinola, though every one who knows him
calls him Frank He is 66 years old, and
is showing his age considerably. There are
few men who have been more active in
New York politics than Spinola. He is not
a large man, as many suppose. He is per-
haps 3 feet s or in height, and will weigh
perhaps $50 pounds He walks with cane,
and hnps a good deal He wears low-cut
vest and exhibits an expansive shirt front,
in which sparkle two small diamond studs
TO the shirt is attached an immaculate
collar, which is worn so high
that it almost hides the back of his head
from view. He is a great tobacco chewer,
and likes to smoke the cheapest cigars he
can find, which he buys by the box at about
SO per hundred He selected front scat
Immediately in front Of the Speaker, and
on the opposite side of the aisle from him
is his colleague, Perry Belmont, who is
everything just the opposite Of Spinola.
The General is rich, having made his money
in street railroads IN New York city. He
was delegate to the Democratic National
Convention at Charleston in 1860, and has
attended every Democratic National Con-
vention since that time

Ledbetter Criticised.

MIR. EDITOR - Your correspondent
Ledbetter, in his communication in u late
number of your paper, does our worthy
sheriff great injustice. He seems to
think q man Onght to have as much back
bone as garter snake. propose to no
tice some of the statements made by Led
better, and to correct any erroneous in
ferences that might be drawn from them.
Lcdbetter does not charge, as some 9TH
or scrihbler did, that our worthy sheriff
secured his election by promising and
pledgiug himself not to be a candidate
again, but rs the Officious Ledhetter,
parrOt-like, quotes the same, wiSh to
ask, if the said promise WAS not eXtOrted,
and did not Mr.. McNair have to get vOtesi
Is it not wrong, morally wrong, to hold
him to any promises he may have made
when eiectionocringf And while on the
subject, will refer TO another matter, not
mentioned by Mr.. Ledbetter, Int to an
swer the wrongful Impression that the re-
sort (others may and no doubt have
heard it,, that Mr.. McNalr allowed, or
even secured men TO go on his bond under
the belief that the sum for which each
qualified was the extent of their liabili-
ty, whereas in case of default, each
would be liable for the whole penalty OF
the bond. Your present correspondent
knows that when MIR. McNair first did
this, when first elected, he believed the
sureties could 40 limit their LIABILITY.
As to the circle of coasanguinity, don't
all of us know that MIR. McNair is net re-
spOnsible for his relationship Though
Van Watts is his uncle, and Alec. 'McNair
(who is no longer candidate) his broth

related, and Uncle jesse Warren is father

This is true, but was it not as good vote
as if cast in the mOrningf The truth is,
he was ut Montgomery most of the day,
and when he came to his voting place he
tried to keep from voting ut all. 1t was
reported at the time that he told the Ia
dies he had voted at Montgomery, but
they were SO persistent as to inquire il
this could be done, and pressed the poor
